In Freddy, Kartik Aaryan tries some new things. The protagonist, unlike Aaryan’s customary dashing demeanor, is a bumbling recluse and obsessive. There’s a frightening antihero and an odd muse in Freddy, as well as a planned murder and a game-changing betrayal.
Let’s begin with the concept. Parsi dentist Dr. Freddy Ginwala (Aaryan) has a pet turtle named Hardy, who he treats like a human. He may be socially awkward, but his one and only (though slightly deluded) objective in life is to find his love.
And now, five years later, with almost no hope, he’s almost ready to give up. Kenaz Irani, the source of all your problems, isn’t going to show up (Alaya F). Unfortunately for Kainaaz, her husband is abusive.
Due to a chain of strange occurrences (including Freddy’s compulsive following of her), he finds himself playing the role of confidant, boyfriend, and savior. Kainaaz has to deal with her husband Rustom’s anger while Freddy is busy conjuring up their happily ever after.
Freddy knows that he and Kainaaz will both be better off without Rustom. He comes up with a scheme, murders Rustom, goes into hiding in his Karjat farm for a few days, and then heads back to Mumbai, where he believes Kainaaz is waiting for him. It’s at this point that one can start to anticipate what will happen next.
It’s obvious to the audience that Kainaaz has manipulated him long before the door opens and she emerges from the shadows, smiling and dressed in traditional garb.
For this reason, the major reveal that she is the mastermind and has been using Freddy to get Rustom out of the way so that she and her typical gym-bro lover Raymond can take over his business is completely unconvincing.
The twist may be uninteresting, but it’s essential to getting to the movie’s most exciting part: Freddy’s vengeance. By the time the credits roll, we know that Freddy is not someone to be trifled with. We learn that before he murdered Rustom, he witnessed his father murder his mother and then take his own life.
Two mysteries are thus resolved. To begin, he doesn’t want to talk about why he’s spent his entire life in a self-built shell, a protective coating that has made him the outcast in everyone’s eyes.
Secondly, he was socialized at a formative age to accept violence in the name of love. The catastrophe he endured as a child essentially determined his future. Neither Kainaaz nor Raymond are aware of how deeply his trauma has affected him emotionally.
Because they assume he is helpless and weak, they push every one of his buttons, causing his mind and body to go to hell. Still, they go ahead and do something that can’t be undone. As a result of their kidnapping, Hardy ends up in a pot of turtle soup.
Franny loses it. By eliminating Hardy, they wipe out his last shred of humanity. And he begins making plans for the destruction with the same meticulousness with which he cares for his patients.
He begins by bribing a “witness” to the murder of Rustom, and then he manipulates CCTV footage to make it appear as though Kainaaz and Raymond used his car to murder Rustom. Second, he invites the cheating couple to his rural Karjat home for a “ceasefire.”
He requests that they bring luggage, leading cops to believe the two are leaving town. This is a wonderful plan on Freddy‘s part. We now know that his greatest asset is the fact that he has been consistently undervalued.
He even convinces them that his gun is loaded, so that when Kainaaz grabs it and turns it on him, all he’ll get hit with are blanks. It’s the movie’s closing scene, though, that will make you think twice about skipping the dentist.
Or perhaps the idea that your actions have consequences is something you can take away from this. Kainaaz and Raymond are restrained in chairs by Freddy, their lips held wide with retainers. Dressed in white doctor’s robes, he appears unconcerned.
With a swift sweep that would make Dexter happy and in homage to the age-old adage “play to your strengths,” Freddy begins ripping out their teeth. A bloody, mangled mass soon covers the tray. Raymond has been put to rest, his remains dumped without fanfare into a freshly excavated grave.
When it comes to Kainaaz, though, his bewitching soulmate, he can’t be so cold and distant. As the saying goes, there are always two sides to every story. He allegedly burys her while she is still alive. After he finishes, he lays down between the two holes, a symbol of his relief. Avenged.
